WHEELING, W. VA. MAY ., 1887.
Two Points On tho Camden Side.

Mr.. Camden's friends make the strong
point that there must be come way to de.
termine the party will. They point to the
caucus as being the accepted way In bodies
OF delegated powers. They argue that II
every man Ia 10 pull his own way there is
HI end Of party authority and Of party or
ganization. Upon the assembling OF the
Legislature in January these considera-
tions were pressed upon certain members
who were disposed to kick, and they had
the effect 10 strengthen the linea In Bome
weak places.
The other point in Mr.. Camden's favor
is that he 10 a protectionist-an unusually
strong one for q Democrat. 1t Is not the
present purpose to discuss this point, but
rather to apply to II tho argument Of the
supremacy Of the caucus.
The caucus that conyenea In Washing.
ton In the name Of the Democratic party
Is q free trade caucus. This is not specu.
lation, this is history. It will be as true
OF the Democratic aucus Of the next
Congress as Of its predecessors. Blu.
the element OF the Democracy with which
Mr.. Camden is in afiliation on the tariff
question, reluaes to DO bound by the eau.
Gus itee trade odict. Carlisle and Morrison
and their ilk fix up q free trade measure,
and Randall and his following 20 into
open rebellion agains. the caucna edict.
We understand Mr.. Camden to DO in sym.
patty with that revolt.
What the ~INrELLIdENcER took tho floor
to ask, as a privileged question, IL,
whether in the opinion Of Mr.. Camden
and his friends the caucus to nominate q
Democrat for United States Senator Ia
more binding in its nature than the eau.
Gus 10 formulate a national economic pol
icy for the Democratic party snd for the
country?
The lNTELLtGESCER is no Yankee to an
swer its VI questions; and so this one is
left to the Democrats assembled in Charles
ton. in the hope that it may serve to re-
lieve the tedium Of tho extra session.

TO THE NORTH VIA BURNET AND LAM
PASAS.

Burnet correspondent this morning
takes our railroad committee to task for
not coming to their town and trying TO
get a connection for the Austin d. North
western at Lampasas with the Gulf, Col
orado d Santa Fe, or continuing on 10
Gatesville and joining the st. LOUIS
Arkansas d Texas railroad. This scheme
has almost arrived at the chestnut age
1t has been moo Il time and again, and
no active action has been taken. II Bur-
net and Lampas2s are in earnest, why
do they not get to work,and Austin surely
will meet them half way? Those cities
knew of our railroad meetings here last
spring; why did they not do as did Bolton
and Georgetown-send down some com
mittees to interview our committee and
discuss the claims of their section for a
railroad! 1t is not too late now. though.
Austin is stirred up on this railroad ques-
ton, and is now getting to work on the
proposed line to Fredericksburg.
But one rotd will not sat
isfy us, and if Lampasas
and Burret will help build
to the former town, or bring influences to
bear upon the st. Louis, Arkansas d Texas
railroad to run their line down to meet an
extension Of the Austin d. Northwestern
from Burnet, Austin, we are assured, will
be heart and soul with them in their
enterprise. We must have northern
connection; it is a little out of the way
round by Burnet, but we must get north,
even if compelled to make detour to &C
comLlish il. Let us see how much Burnet
and Lampasas are in earnest about this
matter, as it rests almost, if not entirely,
with them to take the initiative.

CONSUL BRIGHAM.

Possibly, an unnecessary fuss has been
raised over the assault upon the United
States consul at Paso del Norte by the
Mexican Judge, Zunia. Was it personal
difficulty between the two officials If it
was it should have been settled in a per-
soual manner, without appealing to the
government at Washington. The in
terpreter, who was present at the difficulty,
says, however, Brigham offered no liz
science or indignity whatever to the
Mexican, but that the attack was uI-
provoked.
If Zunia made the assault on Brigham,
the consul-not Brigham, the private in
dividual, then it was an insult which this
government cannot and should not
ignore, and for which ample indemnity
and apology should be demanded. The
Cleveland administration and the party
which put it in power stand pledged
to the protection of Americans abroad,
and the people will not support a party
or an administration who will not carry
out the pledge and the principle.
The administration should take a firm
stand in this matter, bearing as it does,
upon the safety of all Americans in
Mexico.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-09-08
TEXAS PROTECTIONISTs

In a leading editorial day or two
ago the San Antonio Express administers
to the readers of that journal another
dose of protective panacea. 1t is
quite astonishing that a paper like the
Express, claiming to represent the senti-
ments of very large section of an agIi-
to stand on the same ground as regards
the tariff as Sam Randall, John Sherman,
or any other pronounced or inyeterate
protectionist But the position of the
Express is undoubted. II claims protec-
ton to be in the interest of the people of
Texas, and hints at the upbuildiug of
manufactures.
Now, in maintaining high protective
tariff principles, here is what the Express
endorses and defends. The people of
Texas, like other states, have to pay an
indirect tax in the shape of import duties,
ranging all the way from 90 to 10 per cent.
We pay this tax on every yard of clothing,
every tablespoon, or pocket knife, on the
necessaries as well as Injuries of life.
Where does this tax go! A part of II,
and part only, goes to the support of
the government. So far it is legitimate
levy. Where does the other part go? To
the swelling of vast and useless surplus
in the treasury, which withdraws half a
billion of dollars from the general circu-
lation and business of the country.
1t also virtually goes to swell
the Golfers of the eastern manufacture
who boards up his millions by the de-
struction of foreign competition, accom-
plished by this same Ubiquitous, oppres-
sive, nigh, protective tariff. BY it tie
manufacturer practically steals from the
agriculturallst the profits of his hard toll,
TO add to his wealth. This kind of tar
if is taxation, not alone for the support
of government, but for other purposes
the building up of one class of interests
at the expense of another, which is I'M
just.
1t is, in fact, actual robbery, under the
form and sanction OF law, as declared in
the democratic platforms of Illinois and
Indiana, last year.
1t is simply theft under another name;
yet it is advocated, endorsed, defended, by
a leading Texas iournal-the Express.
That paper represents the sheep and wool
men of west Texas, and is willing to sacri
fee the rest of the state to suit them

On account of the heavy cost the Cen

The northern mail from Gudalajara was
recently robbed, near San Angustin, by a
party of baadits, who ran off with il, mules

A few days ago, near Jalapa, Don Mauro
Luna, son of Col. Lucian Luna, was swept
away while attempting to cross the Coate-

party in the house, represented by Mr..
Mills. is almost s1re N make it not for
Mr.. Randall and the protection clique of
democrats, his hackers, whenever the
tariff is up for discussion. Mr.. Mills is
already preparing a bill for tariff re-
duction which will, no doubt, if its author
attains the chairman5hip mentioned, be-
come the party measure in the next
house. 1t will be test. If Randall and
his followers cannot fall into line with the
party on snch measure, Mr.. Mills sug-
gests reading them out. Whether this is
done or lot, the distinguished Pennsyl-
vania protective leader, disappearing as
a democrat, should no longer be allowed
to mar ths work, control the councils, or
the principles of the demo-
cratic party.

New Books.

The STATESMAN has received copy Ct
the elements of Spanish Law" by Don
Joaquin Eseriche, translated from the
Spanish by Col. Bethel Coopwood, of the
Austin bar. The book was printed by
Messrs. Triplett & Hutchings, of this city,
and is very neatly executed. The transla-
ton includes the first and second books,
as originally published, relating to the
general law of spain, and contains cta-
tions of all the laws, DEGREES, cedulas,
pragmatics and elementary works on
which the rules and principles enunciated
are based, enabling the reader to go direct
to the fountain for the full text, when
ever deemed necessary. 1t is the purpose
of Col. Coopwood to publish very soon
translation of the third and fourth books
OF Spanish elementary law by the same
author, which treat of crimes and pen
alties and of judicial procedure. These
translations will be of special value to
those visiting or having dealings with the
people of any of the Spanish countries.
PRoDUoTIoN-120,0 COMPUTATIONS IN
DExED FOR READY REFERENCE.
Probably there has been no book pub
lished in recent times, which is of greater
convenience and value to the business
man than Ladd's Discount Book. Every
merchant, manufacturer, trader, buyer and
seller should get one of these books. 1t
comprises nearly 200 pages of carefully
prepared and positively accurate tables,
about 10000 computations, giving, at
glance, the net of any SUN whatever, at all
discounts, from l per cent. to 95, together
with great range of combinations.
The purpose of the book is to save COM
putting percentage in its various forms,
and to give results that can be depended
upon without proving, thereby avoiding
much brain work and the mental strain
attending hastily worked computations,
which have to be proved, and saving time,
money and patience. The book is nicely
printed and handsomely bound, and is
meant for every day use.
It covers the whole range of discounts,
both simple and complex, and is therefore
almost indispensable to every business ia
which percentage is used. It will be found
complete and prove its value for finding
the net cost of goods, making list prices,
making discounts, comparing prices, add
ing profit, etc.-there is no limit to its
application. few days use by buyer,
price clerk, manufacturer, or anyone who
has to make prices or figure discounts,
will verify the claim that the book is accu-
rate, rapid, convenient and practical.
The book is for sale by William j. Ladd,
New York. Price, $500.

LET US TELL THE TRUTH.

Not unfrequently has lack of enter
prise been thrown up to the citizens OF
Austin. Whatever may have been said in
the past, it is only speaking truth now to
assert that the people, and especially
our wealthy citizens, have, within the
past few months, thoroughly redeemed
themselves.
The facts speak for themselves, Austin
has offered the Texas d st. Louis 100000
to get through line. She has offered the
Farmers Alliance $4,000 to help build a
factory here, and, latterly, the Missouri
Pacific, subsidy for the Fredericksburg
connection. II this is not enterprise, it is
difficult to say what is. 1t is enterprise
for which the citizens of Austin should
have due credit.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1887-09-08

Senator Blair is greatly disturbed.
Early in the present session of the New
Hampshire legislature some superservice-
able friend of the senator introduced
resolution on the subject of ILL eracy in
the south, heartily endorsing the Blair bill
and instructing the congressional dele
CATION from the state to support it in the
coming session of congress. The resolution
was referred, and reported unfavorably.
Sorely amazed the senator hurried to the
capital and rallied his friends. There was
three days discussion, developing such
strong opposition, that the senator was
glad to compromise by leaving out the
instructions to congressman, and then the
resolution was adopted by a very scant
majority. The incident practically shows
that the measure Is not favored in Blair's
own state.
